bareMinerals The Wild Thing Palette Review

The Wild Thing Palette is a limited edition palette from bareMinerals made for spring, but I think the colors work better in the summer. ($30.00 for 0.17 oz.) The Wild Thing featuring 4 shades of eye shadow: Sensational (iridescent aqua), Elitist (bronzed taupe), Icon (electric chartreuse), and Controversy (deep marine blue). The palette is formulated without parabens, binders, fillers and harsh chemicals.

How to Wear Vests

Learning how to wear vests is a great way to add some spice to your wardrobe. Vests were originally only worn by men, but why let them have all the fun with their waist coats!

How to wear vests

1. Wear Vests to Spice up Jeans. Start with the all American uniform of jeans and a white t-shirt or white tank top. The jeans can be any cut that flatters you. In my outfit, I chose to wear polka dot skinny jeans and a white tank. I accented with some color by adding teal pumps, watch, and sunglasses. You can accent with your favorite color accessories or just go neutral. In summer, I would add color, but in winter I would go with neutrals like black, brown or gray.

The Secret of Straight Hair!

I have been successfully straightening my hair since college when I saw a girl with unnaturally straight hair and I cornered her to ask her how she got her so straight! She let me in on the secret of the Chi! I have bought several Chi hair straighteners since then and they are now being sold at Target. The price has reduced significantly and ceramic straightening with the Chi is no longer a secret. When I was in college and my sister was just starting her teens, I shared the secret with her and my mother. My mom is now getting her hair straightened professionally weekly because her hair is so thick and awesome that it looks good for about a week after she gets it done by a professional. I am definitely jealous of her great hair! I got my day’s hair which is not so bad, but not as nice as my mom’s hair. My sister, on the other hand, got my mom’s thick show stopping hair!

Beach Chic

I have not been to the beach in quite some time since we bought a house with a pool, but that does not mean I should stop looking beach chic this summer! Beach hair waves are so fabulous and I wish I had the energy to do it myself everyday! I have natural waves in my hair, but it’s just not the same as getting your hair done. I love the new era of hair salons where you can go into a salon and completely avoid the hair dye smell and just get a great look for a night out or photo shoot. My friend, Sahily of Pretty In Pigment hosted a blogger party at the local SoBlo Salon where they did everyone’s hair and makeup artists from Neiman Marcus YSL counter came to put the finishing touches on out summer looks!

Popbands

My first child is on her way and we just recently had a baby shower were I received complimentary Popbands for my baby shower favors. Popband sent me a extra package of Popband to be given away to my readers. Aren’t they sweet!?! The Popbands are awesome! I have been wearing them non-stop since the baby shower. I wore my pink glitter Popband the other day in my ‘How to Wear Statement Necklaces‘ post. The cool thing about Popbands is that they leave your hair kink-free and look way cooler on your wrist than traditional hair ties. There are so many colors to choose from that it makes it easy to match your Popband to every outfit. Start your summer off right with Popband MultiPack in Pop colors: yellow, blue, hot pink, light pink, and purple. Enter to WIN a Popband MultiPack  using the Rafflecopter below.
